5.0 out of 5 stars A Wonderful Book!, December 3, 1999

This review is from: Little Princesses: The Intimate Story of Hrh Princess Elizabeth & Hrh Princess Margaret As Told by Their Governess (Hardcover)
If you love the Royal family then you'll be amazed by this book. I loved reading about the queen and her sister, Margret's, childhood. Its a wonderful book with funny parts as well as sometimes when you feel sorry for the girls. It tells of the future queen saying if she was Queen she wouldn't let people work horses on sundays, because they deserve a day off too, or something close to that.

3.0 out of 5 stars memories for me, February 2, 2000

This review is from: Little Princesses: The Intimate Story of Hrh Princess Elizabeth & Hrh Princess Margaret As Told by Their Governess (Hardcover)
My mother owned a first edition of this sweet book and as a child I was enchanted. The pictures in the book let you see the now queen and princess as little girls, playing and horse riding and being royal. I treasured the book and named my oldest daughter Elizabeth because of the glitter I saw with the little girls. My mother gave the book to me when I was a teenager and I had kept it for 40 years. I loaned the book to a friend and it was lost. I am now 55 and only lost it 5 years ago. I am very anxious to own another one. I think all ages of girls would love to read this book of another life that few of us can ever know.

This review is from: Little Princesses: The Intimate Story of Hrh Princess Elizabeth & Hrh Princess Margaret As Told by Their Governess (Hardcover)
This is a fascinating story of how Queen Elizabeth II and her sister, Princess Margaret were partly brought up from very young ages by their governess. The book takes one through the early years prior to the time in which their father, Albert, (The King's Speech) was made King George VI, after the abdication of his brother, King Edward, in the 1930s. Detailed descriptions of the devotion and closeness of the royal family and the subsequent separation of the children from their parents when they were forced to live under the protection of their nanny, governess, and various servants at Windsor Castle, while the king and queen stayed in London at Buckingham Palace, during the World War II, and all the bombing and destruction of the city. Ends with early years of marriage of Elizabeth before she becomes queen.
